Ai-Powered Image To Recipe Generator, Rohit Malik, Manisha Kumari, Md Abdullah Al Hafiz Khan

Symposium of Student Scholars

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed various aspects of food technology, including automated recipe generation. This paper introduces an AI-powered Image-to-Recipe Generator, a system that extracts ingredient details from an image and generates a structured recipe with cooking instructions. Utilizing computer vision (CNNs, Vision Transformers) for ingredient detection and natural language processing (NLP) for recipe formulation, this system enhances the culinary experience by enabling users to derive recipes from food images effortlessly. The model integrates deep learning-based image recognition, NLP-driven text generation, and a recommendation engine to provide

personalized recipes based on dietary preferences and nutritional constraints. This …

Management Of Cystic Fibrosis With Diet And Exercise, Chuck Hultmark, Maggie Mcdermott, Daisy Monge, Christian Ninan

RESP 1102 Intermediate Respiratory Care

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a chronic genetic condition that significantly impacts respiratory and digestive health. This paper explores how structured nutritional strategies combined with regular physical activities can improve outcomes for individuals with CF, including enhanced lung function, healthier weight gain, and reduced hospital admissions. Excessive mucus production impairs digestion and nutrient absorption, increasing the need for caloric intake and micronutrients. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (n.d.), individuals with CF require 1.5 to 2 times the daily caloric intake of those without CF. This paper highlights the importance of ongoing nutritional assessments such as BMI, micronutrient levels, glucose tolerance …

A Path For A Post-Oil Iraq: A Green Transition Strategy To Prepare Iraq For Climate Change, Jason Edward Harsha

Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects

Due to resource scarcities from climate change, Iraq needs to reconfigure it's economic policy to resolve them. It needs to have an export model that is diversified from oil due it's weakness as a valuable export. Oil is vulnerable to price shocks and decreased demand from global energy transitions. Instead, Iraq should build knowledge intensive industries that create multiple valuable products to earn the revenue to import scarce resources. This can be attained with a just transition strategy that implements a energy transition while protecting the working class. A energy transition needs policies that lower the relative cost of renewable …

The Regulatory Void Of Pfas And Contaminated Sites, Irem Tekogul, David Lampert, Farzad Mohammadi, Amandeep K. Sandhu, Matthew Shapiro

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as “forever chemicals,” are widely used due to their unique properties. The adverse health impacts of PFAS have been available for the last two decades, but the persistence of inadequate and poorly enforced regulations has led to pervasive environmental contamination. Recent regulatory changes by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency address PFAS in drinking water under the Safe Drinking Water Act and address PFAS in contaminated sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. However, regulatory gaps persist, particularly regarding acceptable risks from sites contaminated with thousands of PFAS. This paper …

The Effect Of Calisthenics Training On Estimated Vo₂Max Values In College Students, Rayhan Amer Imran, Triyanti Triyanti, Fathimah Sulistyowati Sigit, Mury Kuswari

Indonesian Journal of Public Health Nutrition (IJPHN)

Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO₂max) among university students is worryingly low, with more than 50% of students categorized as unfit (<41.7 mL/kg/min). This study was conducted to determine the effect of calisthenic training on estimated VO₂max values using a quasi-experimental study design on 21 male students of the Faculty of Public Health, University of Indonesia from August to October 2024. Subjects were divided into 2 groups: the intervention group (n=10) and the control group (n=11). The intervention group performed treatment in the form of calisthenics exercise for 40 minutes, and the control group received running exercise treatment for 20 minutes, with both exercises done twice a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Body weight, height, body mass index, estimated VO₂max values, body fat percentage, muscle mass, academic stress levels, sleep quality and macronutrient intake data were measured pre-and-post training and were analyzed using independent and dependent t-tests. The results showed a significant (p<0.05) difference in change on the average estimated VO₂max values between the intervention group (3.5 mL/kg/min) and the control group (11.4 mL/kg/min). It can be concluded that the changes in estimated VO₂max values were likely more effective in the running group compared to the calisthenics group.

Exploring The Non-Communicable Disease Burden In Indonesia – Findings From The 2023 Health Survey, Akifa Laila Rusyda

Indonesian Journal of Public Health Nutrition (IJPHN)

The present study rigorously examines the correlation between obesity, high-risk dietary consumption, and unhealthy lifestyles with the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Indonesia. The study employed a cross-sectional study design using secondary data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey, analyzing 38 units (n) representing Indonesia's provinces in 2023. The correlation analysis, conducted using Pearson's test with a significance level of 95% (α<0.05), revealed significant regional disparities in the prevalence of NCDs, dietary consumption, and lifestyle factors across Indonesia. Moreover, the findings reveal a statistically significant positive correlation between obesity, high-risk food consumption, and lifestyle risk factors with the prevalence of several NCDs, including diabetes mellitus, heart disease, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. These results underscore the potential impact of our research on public health in Indonesia. The results highlight also the urgent need for targeted public health initiatives, such as policies promoting healthier food choices, controlling the food environment, encouraging physical activity, and supporting smoking cessation to mitigate the growing burden of NCDs in Indonesia.
